When should I use deep cloning in programming?

What is deep cloning and when should I use it?

Deep cloning creates a complete copy of an object, including nested objects. Use it when you need to avoid reference issues.

Can you give me an example of when deep cloning is necessary?

Sure! If you have an object with nested arrays or objects, modifying the clone won't affect the original.

Are there performance concerns with deep cloning?

Yes, deep cloning can be slower and use more memory than shallow cloning, especially for large objects.

How do I implement deep cloning in JavaScript?

You can use JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj)) for simple objects, or libraries like Lodash for more complex cases.
